Symantec gives students a break: 50% off Norton AntiVirus

October 15th, 2009 - Posted by Kent

Back when I was in school, I had Norton Antivirus installed on my laptop. It was pretty much the only choice. Now there are a dozen or so major Internet security solutions offering to protect you from online baddies. We may laugh a little at the idea of anti-virus software as a back-to-school necessity, but in truth students are at a particularly high risk for malware and spyware.

Norton is currently offering students 50% off of its basic Norton Antivirus 2010 with Antispyware, bringing the price down to $19.99. While it's not as comprehensive as the souped-up Norton Internet Security 2010 that we reviewed, it does contain powerful essentials to protect your computer from common threats. We really liked the AntiVirus component of Internet Security 2010, and would recommend it even at the full price. And for $19.99, it's a real bargain.

To get this special price, you must be a student in the United States with an email address that has a corresponding .edu suffix. And you must follow this link.

    The following time I read a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I imply, I do know it was my choice to read, however I really thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about one thing that you could possibly repair if you werent too busy in search of attention.
